Seems like every year in week 2 Dallas goes on the road to play a team that ends up making a "surprise" playoff appearance. With Tennessee being a trendy pick to make the playoffs even before last week, it got me thinking how oddly similar every week 2 game has felt lately.
Last year in week 2 it was @ Kansas City. 2-14 the year before, surprise playoff appearance.
The year before it was @ Seattle. 4 straight losing seasons, surprise playoff appearance with a rookie QB.
The year before it was @ San Francisco. Perennial NFC West basement dwellers, surprise playoff/NFC championship appearance.
And now @ Tennessee this year.
